ANTON P. MARKERT It is with great pride and affection that the staff of the 1964 ARC dedicates this yearbook to Mr. Anton P. Marked. With the exception of the time spent at Georgia Tech and Columbia University, where he earned an M.A. degree. Mr. Markert has been at Richmond Academy since his sophomore high school days. While at Richmond Mr. Markert held the distinction of being first in each of his high school classes. He was not only an excellent student but also a popular member of the student body, as evidenced by the fact that his classmates elected him president of the gradua- ting class of 1918. After graduating from Richmond Academy. Mr. Markert en- tered Georgia Tech, where he earned a B.S. degree in three years. He then returned to Richmond in 1921 as a math teacher. In 1988 he was made Dean of Students, and in 1951 he succeeded Mr. Eric Hardy as Principal of Richmond Academy. The calling of a teacher is a high one. The job of an administra- tor is indeed a challenging one. Through the years Mr. Markert has earned the respect of his students, his faculties, and his professional associates as he ably fulfilled the responsibilities in both of these educational fields. Because of his sincere concern for the academic progress and welfare of Richmond Academy for the past forty-two years, we dedicate this, the 1961 ARC. to Richmond Academy’s retiring prin- cipal. Mr. A. P. Markert.
